Don't Be Evil

Google won't stand up to Beijing. But they're fearless when it comes to putting Brussels in its place:

Google, the giant internet search company, is to lead industry opposition to new proposals from the European Commission to regulate online content.

I support Google in its efforts to fight the EU. The Union is determined to enforce all kinds of nasty regulations on the internet, and supports turning internet governance over to the UN. The problem is, by cutting deals with China, Google lost whatever moral authority it once had.

I used to laugh at Europe's attempts at wresting the internet away from freedom-loving people. Now it's not so funny.
